Modified files:
en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/disks chapter.sgml
Log:
Some rework of the memory, and file-backed file systems section:
- Remove 5.X from titles, since it applies to 5.X+.
- Refer only to bsdlabel in the 5.X+ section and remove note about the
switch from disklabel to bsdlabel in FreeBSD 5.1.
- Do not suggest users place file systems on the "c" partition (which
is meant for the "raw" device) and use the "a" partition instead.
(Note that I'm not really sure if there is a good reason to label a
memory disk before use when just using the entire disk for one file
system, but I will leave this for now.)
- Update program output to show what resent FreeBSD version actually
writes.
- For memory backed file system section, suggest that people use swap
backed and not malloc(9) backed, since malloc based memory disks
have a good disk of causing a panic since the kernel risks runing
out of memory in the malloc pool.
